Notes

– I’ve included the gauge and written instructions for the yarn and size needles I used. You can use any cotton yarn you like with the appropriately sized mm needles. Simply work the increase rows until your work measures approximately 3-3.5″ (7.5-9cm) across then proceed to the bodywork.

– * * indicates a repeat

– (x, x, x) at the end of a row/round indicates how many total stitches for that row/round

– Toddler (Child, Adult); Use the corresponding number for the size you are making

Cut a piece of yarn about 3 feet long. Thread it through your headband at the increases and decreases.

Scrunch the fabric and wrap your yarn several times to create a ‘bow’ look.

Lastly, using a piece of scrap yarn about 6”, secure each point to the body of the headband.
Weave in the loose ends and you’re done!
